Book cover for Yonder
We all want to see heroes. To pat them on the back and shake their hands and tell them what a swell job they’ve done and how thankful we are. We want them to be brave, but we don’t want to hear what that bravery has cost them. We don’t want ...more

Madeleine L'Engle
“I am a female of the species man. Genesis is very explicit that it takes both male and female to make the image of God, and that the generic word man includes both. God created man in his own image, male and female. That is Scripture, therefore I refuse to be timid about being part of mankind. We of the female sex are half of mankind, and it is pusillanimous to resort to he/she, him/her, or even worse, android words. I have a hunch that those who would do so have forgotten their rightful heritage.”
Madeleine L'Engle, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art

“While they are still very young, we want to hand our boys any responsibilities we think they can handle. Actually—on the advice of my grown sons—sometimes we need to assign them a little bit more than what we think they can handle. This gives them a mission, something to conquer and overcome. We can be right there cheering them on, but we shouldn’t be too quick to rescue them. As I mentioned earlier with schoolwork, the struggle is an important part of their development.”
Durenda Wilson, Raising Boys to Men: A Simple, Mercifully Short Book on Raising and Homeschooling Boys

“Parents should also question much of the contemporary emphasis on special materials and equipment for learning in a child’s environment. A clutter of toys can be more confusing than satisfying to a child. On the other hand, natural situations, with opportunities to explore, seldom overstimulate or trouble a small child. Furthermore, most children will find greater satisfaction and demonstrate greater learning from things they make and do with their parents or other people than from elaborate toys or learning materials. And there is no substitute for solitude—in the sandpile, mud puddle, or play area—for a young child to work out his own fantasies. Yet this privilege is often denied in our anxiety to institutionalize children.”
Durenda Wilson, Raising Boys to Men: A Simple, Mercifully Short Book on Raising and Homeschooling Boys

“Does our vision of social justice take any group-identity more seriously than our identities “in Adam” and “in Christ”? Does it buy into divisive propaganda? Does it replace love, peace, and patience with suspicion, division, and rage?”
Thaddeus Williams, Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth: 12 Questions Christians Should Ask About Social Justice

“Christians should be known less as culture warriors and more as Good Samaritans who stop for battered neighbors, whether they are black, white, brown, male, female, gay, straight, rich, poor, old, young, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, atheist, capitalist, socialist, Republican, Democrat, near, far, tall, short, or smaller than a peanut.”
